''Super Eurobeat'' (Japanese: スーパー ユーロビート, Abbreviation: SEB) is a CD compilation series of Eurobeat music in Japan. The series itself is one of the longest running in the entire world. It has been running for over twenty years and currently consists of 235 volumes (not counting the many "''Super Eurobeat presents''" albums). Originally, Time Records, Flea Records and Discomagic were some of the record labels that appeared on the original ''Super Eurobeat'' albums. The series began as a Beat Freak release, which lasted for 8 albums, after that the series was changed over to Avex, and that's also when A-Beat C joined in. The first 10 volumes of ''Super Eurobeat'' are mostly Italo disco, which is quite different from the modern Eurobeat. The slower beats and serious 80's tone make this music stand out from the rest.〔()〕 The term "Super Eurobeat" is sometimes misunderstood and misused by people outside Japan as a music genre (which is synonymous to the Eurobeat genre used in Japanese market). ==Release information== After ''Super Eurobeat'' had transferred to Avex Trax, the CDs themselves were released at a constant rate for the most part, save a few instances where two CDs came out the same day and that ''Super Eurobeat'' was not produced for a good portion of a year. In 1994, the original 8 ''Super Eurobeat'' albums were also re-released under Avex Trax. The pattern of ''Super Eurobeat'' albums were usually 2-3 regular albums, a nonstop album, 2-3 albums, a nonstop album, 2-3 albums, and a large compilation album (usually a request countdown). Since ''Super Eurobeat Vol. 30'', these compilation albums generally fall on every tenth album. Early regular albums contained 13 extended tracks, while starting from Vol. 64, the albums contain 18 CD-edit tracks. Since the 150s, with the exception of volume 165 (which was a megamix), every ''SEB'' became a normal 18 track release with every 10th album being a compilation album with an extra DVD usually containing ParaPara. 150 was an Anniversary mix with Disc 1 being the History of Eurobeat and Disc 2 being the History of J-Euro (this is out of the ordinary), and 160 was a request countdown (like the other tenth albums of the 100s are). This pattern discontinued with the release of 187, in which it returned to the old 13 extended track format. Number of tracks in each volume, excluding non-stop albums and bonus discs: * Vol. 9 - 13: 9-10 * Vol. 14 - 32: 12 * Vol. 34: 14 * Vol. 1 - 8 (re-released), 35 - 62, 187 - 189: 13 * Vol. 64 - 132, 141 - 186: 18 * Vol. 134 - 139: 15, with CD-Extra audios or videos * Vol. 191 -196: 13, with a non-stop megamix track of all songs * Vol. 197 - 199: 30 Track Nonstop Megamix * Vol. 200: 20th Anniversary CD. CD 1 contains a 100 song megamix from the series's history. CD 2 is a mix of popular J-Euro * Vol. 201 - 209: 14, 12 extended tracks, 1 J-Euro remix track, and 1 English remix track (usually a Eurock remix) * Vol. 211 - 219: 15, 14 extended tracks and 1 remix track. * Vol. 221 onward: 15 extended tracks, except Vol.222 which had a 16th track because a track on 221 had a mastering error and the correct version was re-released. The songs are CD-Edits (also called "SEB Edit" in Japan, and "Radio edit" overseas) in Vol. 64 - 186, but extended versions in other releases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Super Eurobeat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
